Look for the Vin Number (This will tell you if the car was a 6-cyl or a v-8 originally.) - Vin Numbers were stamped on a plate on the left front door hinge pillar. Look for the fisher Body Tag (Cowl Tag) as well (This will tell you the original information such as the body style number, the production sequence number, the trim (upholstery) number code and the paint number code. Im not to sure as what to look for on the body but you might want to check the rocker panels, frame rails, floor boards and inside of the trunk for rust. Make sure all gauges work and all electrical (example - lights) is working too.

the original six cylinder was a 230 cu. in. which is about 3.8L. Chevrolet did have a four cylinder engine that was the base motor for their Chevy II. It was a 153 cu. in. which is about 2.5L. There was another six cylinder that was the base six cylinder for the Chevy II and the Chevelle and it was 194.4 cu. in. which is about 3.2L. The 230 cu. in. = 140 HP The 194.4 cu. in. = 120 HP The 153 cu. in. = 90 HP Maybe when the owner switched out the transmission he swapped out the older motor as well. In 1967 the six cylinder was changed to a 250 cu. in. (4.1L) which made a 155 HP. If you can get the engine code off of the motor i can help you figure out what it is. If it is a 6-Cyl the code will be stamped on a pad behind the distributor on the right side of the block. Hope this Helps.
